Can you try to run it from a Terminal and tell me if there is anything dumped to the console ?

SImply cd to Flashtool.app/Contents/MacOS and type ./FlashTool >FlashTool.log 2>&1 to run it. all console outputs will be redirected to FlashTool.log. Can you send me the log then ?

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] N/A:
I simply can't believe that I'm the only one that have Xperia Z aka C6603 made from "HELL" and not "SONY"...

that is asking for Qualcomm related serial port drivers when Flashmode is activated ...

Could at least someone Copy/Paste the VID&PID of the Xperia Z when connected in FLASHMODE

info is obtained from "Device Manager / <YOUR_XPERIA_Z_IN_FLASHOMDE> / Properties / Details / Hardware IDS"

so I can at least compare what u guys/gals have when Flashmode is activated on XZ - C6603

Your experience would be greatly appreciated :)

Edit: and yes, you're the first one I came across in these forums which has a developer (engineering sample? brown device?) device.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] schaggo:
A "brown" device means a prototype device. It's not about the actual colour of the device.

Your device is probably soft-bricked until you get your hands on a rom which is built for your device, as brown and final devices differ.

There was a leaked JB build for Xperia T prototype devices. The rom didn't run on final devices, I suspect this also holds true for the Xperia Z. If so, you're out of luck, you won't get your hands on drivers, roms and most likely baked yourself a nice paperweight until further notice.

You may get in touch with Sony and ask them for working code for your device or a device exchange. Duh...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] N/A:
Thx, just as i suspected it to be :(

I still hope i manage to get it working one day in the not so far future, maybe :)

until something better comes to being and lands my hands :)

So bottom line is i probably need "brown working firmware" for my XZ obtained from Sony...

... or a final XZ device that when in FLASHMODE connects to PC with correct VID&PID :)

I was able to flash it through windows so I have the new firmware now!

I don't wanna take the risk now that everything is running fine :p

But. I talked to the other user and he will do that when he has time. When I have news I'll report back ;)

Ok.. Yes I saw that option.. It currently shows Unlock bootloader.. So it is the same which is used to relock the bootloader? And what .ftf is used for that? I mean for Xperia Arc, we used to relock the bootloader using 'X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf' file...

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JPWOA:
Productive answer...

If works for you, doesn't mean that works for everyone.

There are at least to people who had a crash error, me with 10.8.3 and the other user that I mentioned before that is running 10.7.5.

Most probably is working right for the majority...but it has to have some kind of bug somewhere...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Androxyde:
Its almost sure there is a bug. But I need logs to investigate as I do not reproduce it on my side.

But I'm optimist on its resolution :)

Anyway don't worry, it will never brick the device. After a bad flash, just restart in flashmode and flash again on another platform and it will work fine.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Androxyde:
Can you (or those having a crash issue on Mac) try this update ?

Once updated, version will be 0.9.10.2beta4 build on 26/03/2013 at 22h30

This update MUST NOT be applied on another platform than Mac

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JPWOA:
Right now, as I said before, I already have the .434 update and everything is fine...So no flash for now :cool:

But I sent a pm to the other user so he could try it! If he says something I'll report back here ;)

I didnt use the wipe command yet, but if erases the internal sdcard either way, why put/leave the "wipe music and video" in the erase confirmation dialogue? This really does make no sense. As logically the directories are separated in the mount tree, it seriously makes no sense to me what so ever.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Haldi4803:
Thanks a lot for this awesome tool :)

Damn SEUS wouldn't even repeair my phone because i had a "modified Phone"..... unlocked bootloader with doomkernel.... and this prevents from repairing ~.~ maybe i'd need to relock bootloader before...

but creating a tft file from SEUS data worked. :good:

P.S is there a way to figure out if its normaly global version or region version from this number ? "elabel-c6603-row_201302281243_10.1.A.1.434_S1-CUST-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0001-MMC"
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Q.Entity:
How did you manage to install the fastboot drivers? I tried in 2 Windows 7 laptops and a Windows 8. In Windows 7 it never prompted me for the driver location and I followed the instructions from the Sony page to the letter.

I am going to try with a couple machines at work on Monday...

Funny is that the Sony app can "see" the phone. It is the fastboot driver that does not work...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] schaggo:
Re: [TOOL/Z] [UPDATE 21/03/2013] Flashtool version 0.9.10.2beta4 - Windows / Linux /

For both of you: Install Sony's PC Companion if you dont succeed manually. Although I take you have it installed already, Q?

Make sure you boot the device correctly, fully off, hold VolDown and plug it in. Do not touch power.

Use the search. EMMA is for unlocked phones.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Q.Entity:
Yes. Installed the companion app in 2 Windows 7 machines. Would not find the phone... Tried on a Windows 8, worked perfectly.

I did conform the booloader is unlockable and Sony mailed the code.

However, it cannot do the fastboot driver install. It keeps failing.

I tried the hdwwiz and pointing to the INF file and it still will not install...

I will try again on Monday with another laptop at work, if it still does not work, the phone will go into my pile of hardware I don't use or be given to someone in the office. Shame... I really liked it... and everything I own is Sony... except for the Nexus 4...

My thanks to all you guys for the help.

Hopefully, it will not happen to the tablet Z I just ordered....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] johan8:
In this new version has ability to unlock and re-lock the bootloader.

So we can unlock bootloader w/o apply the code ?

Then Flashtool also can re-lock the bootloader.

Is it able to make BE2 work again ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Jonster111:
Are you using Windows 8? If yes you have to do an "advantage start" from one of the windows options. After that you have to turn off the "forcing driver signatures". Here is a toutorial: http://laslow.net/2012/03/14/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8/

Try to install the flashtool drivers after you've done that. Now it should work
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Freaky Doctor:
Sorry for my noob question:

This beta can be used with old Xperia like 2011 or 2012 Xperia, or even 2010 ?

And can i root my Xperia Z by this beta of flashtool like other Xperia phone?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Q.Entity:
Thank you very much. It did install the drivers!

ADB Interface

Bootloader Interface

However, it did not start the drivers so when I do a fastboot it says waiting for devices and nothing...

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] schaggo:
No, it just automates the process instead of you manually typing the unlock entry to a shell.

No, unlock (partially) disables BE2 forever.

It's limited in functionality compared to the "full" flashtool. Why would you want to use it for older devices?

No, a "simple" root is done otherwise, not using flashtool.

Uninstall all drivers, green meadow approach. Then download Sony PC Companion, it includes all drivers.

My Flashtool beta4 does not offer any driver check functionality. Are you using the beta from this thread?

No. Hit the flash button, select the appropriate flashing interface in the popup, select the stuff to flash, then connect the phone in the corresponding mode. The modes available are fastboot or flash mode/flashmode.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] schaggo:
Google or forum search.

Fully power off the device. Hold VolUp for flashmode or VolDown for fastboot mode while plugging the device in. Do not touch the power button for either operation.

When flashing with flashtool, wait with it until flashtool asks you to connect your device.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JPWOA:
Sorry but I think you're wrong.

VolDown is for flashmode! At least is what I have done everytime I used flashtools...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] _JT:
When using volume up Windows told me ADB drivers were installed so I am assuming vol up is for fastboot.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] schaggo:
Messed things up, apparently. Stock Sony makes me pretty happy, didnt flash in a while.

I dont feel terribly bad about it though, a) flashtool tells you what to do at the given time and b) the log gives you the mode a device is connected in. There's that plus Google and the forum search. I was hoping non-iPhone but Android users can operate a text entry box and a search button.
